1. Worth noting: Merge modules are a build-time concept; once merged,
they lose their identity as a container. It's just files (and
whatever else is in the .msm file).
2. In the case of the VC runtime, it's basically just files. So compare
the version of the files on the target system to what's in your .msm
file. If MSI sees that a file needs to be upgraded, it will install
it. If you've set REINSTALLMODE in your package, you can cause MSI
to attempt to always overwrite which would cause the behavior you're
seeing. A verbose install log will answer that.
